Side Dishes (extra bonus recipes!)
Thanksgiving is all about the side dishes which is why we have expanded this category for this week's issue of RSVP. We recommend making at least a couple of these side dishes to complete your feast!

1. For a nice and simple centerpiece, buy a few fall gourds at the grocery store and place them in a ceramic or glass bowl. Pile them high so your guests can admire them throughout the meal. An alternative: fill a vase with cranberries and put your flowers over them.

2. Dress your table with autumn colors like browns, golds, oranges and reds. Complete your look with tablecloths, plasticware and even plates in this color scheme.

3. Let your guests help you do the final assembly. Have them put side dishes into bowls and set the table while you take care of the rest.
